ghc-pkg "cache is out of date" message breaks testsuite
Since the merge of the package database locking business, ghc-pkg dump
spews a message on stderr
on Windows,
$ "C:/msys64/home/ben/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-pkg.exe" dump
WARNING: cache is out of date: C:\msys64\home\ben\ghc\inplace\lib\package.conf.d\package.cache
ghc will see an old view of this package db. Use 'ghc-pkg recache' to fix.

When the testsuite driver sees this it (namely testutil.getStdout
) assumes something has gone terribly wrong and aborts.
From a cursory look it's not clear how we got into this situation; the file indeed exists and was certainly touched during the build. However, running ghc-pkg recache
indeed seems to fix the issue.
